Here's a useful tip: if ever you are attacked by giant monsters, you want to call a Minnesotan for help. I think it's the summertime practice in fighting off insectoid swarms that helps.

I'm glad to see that PZ has discovered MNspeak. Every Minnesotan type around here should check this site out - it's basically a little local news/blog aggregator populated by reasonable, largely liberal types who have some interesting obvservations about local events/politics/projects/places and such.

is anyone here planning to visit "Body Worlds" this anatomic exhibition by Gunter van Hagen? (they are advertising for it at MNspeak)
I have seen it in germany (it's original title is "Körperwelten") where van Hagen comes from and where it kindled a lot of controversy because of the origin of the dead bodies and the way (http://www.benecke.com/hautmensch_front.jpg)they are presented there.
The technique of "plastination" which van Hagen invented is definitely worth a look, though.
